Would it not be appropriate to approach a few of the "KUR friendly" folk out there who maintain a bunch of online info and request their permission to reproduce it here? Or do we wait for them to want to jump on the bandwagon? SOFA

You mean to tell me there's actually KUR friendly folk out there? ;-)

Coupla things:

- which sites are you referring to?

- do you think they would mind if we copy/paste their info?

PS: I suggest we start signing our comments from now on; if not, we'll end up in a situation where noone knows who posted what.

You know to which sites I refer... And yes, May cut and paste your stuff... Better still, "Would you cut & paste your stuff to contribute to this wiki?". SOFA

Cut 'n Paste

Yes I know the sites you're referring to.

Am currently cutting/pasting stuff from KUR to here like there's no tomorrow myself. Don't think people would mind if we c/p from their sites - given proper attribution. What do you think?

Resp

Well, for example, I'm using UniMuta's site as a verification point on the Musicians/Associates list I've been working on...pasting from in Master list A - Z. I figure that I'm not duplicating his work/page as I am seperating certain stuff from a much larger list. I didn't forsee any problem with this... But say, TBNer "old_zircon's" lyrics site. What a wealth of stuff exists there. Also, how would I go about transferring my list - when I'm done - to the actual "Article" page, assuming that is where it's supposed to go? SOFA

Categories

I desperately need a "Influences" category... ;-) Does the Head Cheese need to do something? Or can I do this by myself? - emdebe

More Categories

I think we are going to need some more categories: Composers, Conductors, Producers, Engineers, Photographers, Designers, Painters, Writers, Poets, Journalists, Books, Articles on FZ, Articles by FZ, Actors, Politicians, TV Evangelists, Teachers, Scientists, Objects (or "Things"),... to name just a few... ;-) - emdebe

Would it be possible to add "Radio & TV appearances & specials"? As far as I know, there hasn't been a site that tries to present this. (hey, look, something 'new' at the zappa wiki...) - UniMuta

More naming conventions

It's going to get worse, before it will be getting better... ;-) ... once we start adding "Tributes & Cover Bands": some band are named after something FZ... e.g. "Bogus Pomp", "b'wana dik", ... So, these would read "Bogus Pomp (the Band)", etc. - emdebe

I know of at least three bands that are / were called Uncle Meat. That should be a nice one to start with - UniMuta
